White Spider Orchid

We went for a walk through the bush this morning and discovered so many of these beautiful spider orchids. Apparently the collective noun for spiders is a clutter, so I shall say I discovered a clutter of Spider orchids today. I hope no one is getting bored with my orchids yet, I probably only have a few days left.

Absolutely beautiful.

[Ethel]

Half your luck. I like your choice of focus on the column and labellum. Spider orchids are the pits for DOF when using macro lenses

[Paul]

Not bored, they're beautiful, such an interesting looking flower. Another lovely capture.

[Peter Day]

Very good photograph, are you printing and keeping them.

[Clare Gadsby]

one day i would like to encounter a clutter of spider orchids. until then, i'll enjoy yours. beautifully captured

[Valerie Chesney]

Delightful, I am not sure I like ' clutter' to describe lots of these gorgeous orchids. I am so enjoying your beautiful shots.

Beautiful

[Robyn]

Interesting flower

[Rachel]

This is so pretty. I love that you have so many around.

[Jodie]

@ethelperry I know what you mean Ethel. I took quite a few shots as I was finding it hard to fit the whole flower in the shot because the petals are so long, in the end decided on this one to show the centre details instead.

Super capture..

[narayani]

Another fabulous shot

[Merrelyn]

Another beauty, Jodie. We went up to Bindoon today and I found a few spider orchids there. Unfortunately it was too windy to get any really good shots :)

[Merrelyn]

@ethelperry I love spider orchids, but really struggle to get a good shot. I thought it was just me :)

[Jennifer]

[Jerome]

[Terri]

@merrelyn Thanks Merrelyn, of course the wind only blows when you are just about to take a shot, that was my problem today!
